KEVIN & AMY
ECKHART

The Eckharts strive to mobilize African American ethnic churches for local missions by becoming familiar with their community and spreading the Gospel. They partner with Life Changers Church, which has a predominately African-American congregation, to develop a heart for missions. They also mentor ethnic minorities and guide them to step into leadership positions in the Church. While serving in Fairfield, Kevin says, “My favorite parts of this ministry would have to be the relationships. We have a family here at the church and we all take care of each other. Even through uncertain times, God has directed us to stay faithful and to trust him."

SENDING STABILITY TO FOSTER FAMILIES
Steve & Sandra Hogue
Ted & Angie Stackpole

Currently, there are over 400,000 foster children in the United States with more than 100,000 children being adoptable. Statistics show that 25,000 of them will age out of the system and 51% will end up unemployed. There is an urgent need for change in the foster care system. The Hogue and Stackpole families are called to resolve the foster care crisis in America with the church as the solution. This team is following God’s call on their lives to help every foster child have a life full of quality, stability, validation, and love through a community of care in the local church.
